Give credit to Shanahan for sticking to the Raids as hes prob still smiling and how about Royal via Cutler and then their clinic on zone blocking domination.
I hate the Donkeys do not mistake it either. And the sick and troubled line along with poor tackles from Huff, and then the lousy coverage by Hall, play calling from coach. I then had to turn it off and take abuse from CO workers the following day at work.

And well you should take abuse from CO workers and “BRONCO” fans. As I’ve been telling you loooozers, there is no such as a team in the NFL as the donkeys. For a nashun that has been sitting at the bottom of the AFC West conference for 6 years (counting this year) and with little hope for future improvement you loooozers should show at least enough respect to those sitting above you in the standings of calling them by their proper names.

A true raider wants the team to be competent and not by saynig we stand by our team in bad times. this is bad times instead of having high draft picks. Thats on management and Al.D.

Andrew’s Mom – fortunately I was on an airplane during the game and my dvr went haywire and didn’t record it – after checking the highlights and reading the commentary, there’s only one thing you can do – forget about it and move on to next week, although it does highlight all my complaints about this defensive scheme (straight man with no blitzing), the d line personnel being out of position (Warren is a three technique and offers nothing in the run stopping department, Burgess is too small to play Strong Side DE, and Richardson is a backup caliber player).

Without a push from the D line any team in any scheme will get eaten up, but it’s even worse in man coverage. As I said before the season started, this team needs to blitz every down and just bring the heat quick so our secondary doesn’t have to cover people for 5 seconds every play, and shoots the gaps on running plays – we’ll give up big plays, no doubt, but we’ll also make plays. Nevertheless I am shocked that the d was this bad – Rob Ryan must use half his salary on home made Kool Aid because he’s the only one that thinks this scheme is good and his players are great (except Al, of course).

Next week, we face an anemic offense and a young defense. We will probably win, but it will be closer than it should be precisely because our D scheme stinks – it either lets the opposing team bleed out the clock which doesn’t allow our zone blocking scheme to wear down the defense, or against good teams, gives up too many points to stick with the run in the first place.

The answer is simple – we don’t have the talent on the D line to run a straight man scheme against the run or the pass – we must compensate by blitzing the run and the pass consistently – teams can either scheme around Burgess and Kelly in the pass game, or provide a little help at times to neutralize our pass rush – warren doesn’t give enough effort and Richardson can be handled one on one. Blitzing is the only way we are going to win the games we should win on paper, and we have the personnel in our secondary to support it (as long as they don’t have to cover for 5 seconds, which the blitz would take care of). I had hoped that Warren, Kelly, Edwards, and Burgess would start – they are all good pass rushers (when they give full effort) and good penetrators in the run game – All we need is one play a series to put teams in obvious passing situations (i.e. second or third and long) and we should win most of those battles just based on statistics. But the fact of the matter is this D line got man handled against an average o line and there’s no need to wait until we’re 1-4 to try new things. In fact, 19-64 (or whatever our record is since Rob Ryan took over the D) should be plenty proof that if you don’t have dominant players on the D line (which we still don’t) the man scheme will not work. I’d rather lose attacking than lose playing the scheme the way it was intended to be played waiting for pressure from the front 4 that is never going to get there.

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:42:43 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/raidersblog/?p=1677#comment-105326why feel sorry for his wife? what does that have to do with anything?

As long as he pays the bills and has a decent sized schwanz she should be ok

…the Raiders should have either drafted D or O line or traded down for more need picks instead of drafting a luxury pick in McFadden. The Raiders have several needs but dumba$$ Al Davis drafted a RB when they already had 4 RB’s on the roster. Meanwhile the Raiders only suited up 3 DT’s on Monday.
___________________________________________________

Listen Fool,

McFadden was the right pick. PERIOD. Trade down, lol, why? So Al could draft another Harris/Buchanon combo? Draft what offensive lineman at #4? Long was gone and no other tackle was a realistic top 5 pick. Draft what great defensive player @ #4? One that could change Rob Ryan’s system? Ellis or Dorsey…whom both play where Kelly currently is being paid $50 million to play?

The reality of the situation was that after the two Longs were off the board, the only choice was McFadden. Period. Cry about it if you want, but I was not and am not wrong.

Al has done two things right in the past two years, draft Russell and draft McFadden. Solid O-lines and d-lines are built in rounds 2-5, that is where Al has failed.

You have my answer.”

All I can say is wow. You and I both know the truth yet you won’t even admit it that you were wrong.

So let me get this straight, according to you EVERYTHING AL DAVIS DOES IS A MISTAKE EXCEPT FOR THE 2 THINGS THAT YOU AGREE WITH? Do you even realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Your wall of denial is inpenetrable.

Like I said earlier, I really feel sorry for your wife and anyone else that ever catches you making a mistake. You expend more energy in denial than most and maybe one day you can work through that. Good luck with that.
